Reminders

[triadruid]

1) If you live in Missouri (or are a Democrat in Kansas), tomorrow is voting day. Go vote before work/in the morning/on your lunch hour. Whenever you do it, vote. No bitching for the next 2-8 years if you don't, kids. (Kansas Republicans caucus next Saturday; Kansas Democrats caucus tomorrow night)

2) I say to vote early in the day, because that evening is kittenpants' birthday shindig. Dinner is at Matsu Japanese Restaurant in Westport (Westport KCMO, not Connecticut) at 6:30 or so, to give us enough time to eat before the Flogging Molly show at the Beaumont Club at 8. Word is that there are still tickets available for Flogging Molly, last I checked: $22 at the box office, $22+exorbitant fees through Ticketmaster.

Of course, if you're not going out with us, you can vote until 7. But vote. Please?

P.S. If you haven't RSVPed to featherynscale already about dinner, please do so here so we can give Matsu a headcount. They're not a super-large restaurant...

But vote. Please?

No, thank you. If they don't want to play the game by the rules, then I don't want to play their game.

That, and I'm not in Missouri.

*shrug* If they stop you from playing the game, they win anyway.

Salright, "Try not to be a peon" wasn't much fun, they can have it. I'll settle for "Don't get caught"

I won't be able to attend, but please pass along birthday happiness for me? (Raw fish and flogging optional.)

Sadly, the party/show conflicts with my pocketbook and the OCP's orchestra recital. I'll be attending the recital and sending best wishes for the year via the ether to kittenpants.

I'm looking forward to dinner and possibly the show afterwards, HOWEVER, I am probably going to need a ride. I'll be calling around tonight to see what I can arrange.

I'm also looking forward to voting tomorrow.

Have you secured a ride for voting?

We'll have to see what we can do about a ride for tomorrow night. Travel is complicated by my having a 4:00 meeting at the office...

[orcjohn.livejournal.com]

No, but that is close enough to the house that I can probably talk anyone willing to drive me tomorrow to stop by the polling place.

my matter/energy transporter has will been(*) in the shop for centuries. I'll join y'all for dinner if I get it back tomorrow.

(*) surely SF has invented the appropriate tense here, right? Sort of imperfect and future-imperfect at the same time? (I'll say it's an imperfect future if I can have my freakin' transporter beam...)

They're taking parts off your time machine to get it back up and running, are they?

You know, I hadn't worked that out, but I bet they are. They will have been had that for a while too...

"has will have been," if I remember my Douglas Adams correctly. =)

No, thanks. I'm an independent, I refuse to join any political party so I don't vote in the primaries, but I'll bitch if I darn well please.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

See my reply to Lex.

They aren't stopping me from playing the game. I'm not abstaining from participation in the system; I'm playing by the rules and saying "Hey, I'm not a member of any of these parties and have no desire to be, so I shouldn't be trying to vote in their primaries."

I suppose I could game the system, but then I would become one of the People I Despise that broke the system in the first place. I prefer to hold by my ideals, because no one else is going to hold them for me.

Happy Bday to Kittenpants!!
